Warner Bros. is still planning to bring Booster Gold into theatres according to writer and director Greg Berlanti. Several years ago reports surfaced around the web, that Berlanti (Arrow) was in talks to develop a movie for the time-traveling, fame-hungry hero. It apparently will not be included in the DCEU, due to his place in that universe.

It has been confirmed that Warner Bros. is planning an imprint outside the DCEU mold, with Booster Gold being someone who can exist on his own.
